"I love the look of boots with jeans but am plus-sized and have a large calf, so I have trouble finding a boot that fits me comfortably and looks cute at the same time. This high heeled clog really fit the bill. Gives the appearance of a boot under my jeans, with total freedom of movement and a comfortable fit. The 8M fit me correctly, more like an 8W which is what I would normally wear, and I never felt like they needed "breaking in." No need to go up a size. These are very well made and stay on the foot, the heel does not feel "too high" I wore them for 12 hours straight the first time and was just as comfortable by the end of the day as I was when I first put them on. Nicely made leather upper with a fashionable lug tread sole. I bought these in the "Peanut" (brown) color and got so many compliments on them, I went back and bought them in the black, too! Love these clogs!"
